    And they = .
    That's very thick. I think it's different to mine which has thick shielding rather than the current carrying wires themselves.

    Why such expensive plugs!
    Russ Andrews would probably approve

    I imagine plugs than can take that cable, if it's the wire of choice, are rare.

    That's a good point but surely there must be something else!

    Are these cables shielded? How do you connect the shield, or have you left it 'floating'?

    I have tried 10mm, 8mm and 6mm basic copper wire, yes. I didn't put plugs on though.

    No need to get the hump, Andrew. Just didn't understand the logic of going 'balls out' on spades when the copper going into them is bog standard.

    The point Lawrence made about size made sense. That's all.

    Oli,

    I've not got the hump, just straight talking. I've found girth works best in my system. The "balls" out aspect is simply to stop me from having to piss about experimenting. The copper and WBT pairing were a lateral thinking experiment which worked out. Yes I know that sounds contradictory. Everything else in the wiring loom is silver, even the caps have silver legs in the pre and power amps. For some reason several meters of wide girth copper fitted to WBT silver binding posts and spades works very well.

    Regards

    Perhaps I used the wrong word. I meant the thick rubbery surround, is dialectric a better description? Or maybe rubbery surround

    Thanks Lawrence,

    It wasn't clear from the photo whether the cables were shielded or not. Whilst I'm not a believer in cable lifters, or having speaker cable not running on the floor (to minimise mechanical vibration interference), the use of a "thick rubbery surround" certainly won't do any harm (provided you don't mind your speaker cables looking like hosepipes. ).
